What will I do?

My beloved is going to be out of town for a few days next week for work.  It’s the first time he’s been gone since he came home from Iraq.  Don’t worry, I’m not getting all maudlin or anything.  But it will be strange to have the house to myself with just the paws again, even if only for 3 nights.  I know I’ll miss him tons b/c I’ve gotten used to him being around all the time again.  As it is now, even when he’s home, I find myself wanting to glue myself to him at least a few times a week.  All milspouses can relate I’m sure - that feeling that you just can’t get enough of that person when they have returned from deployment.

Things I’ll have to be mindful of next week while he’s gone:

1.  No paws in the bed.  We’ve managed to get them out of our bed at night after years of sleeping with us so I can’t regress and succomb to soft puppy eyes for want of cuddle time while mommy’s alone in the bed.

2.  No popcorn or other junky stuff for dinner.  Must make decent meals so I don’t derail my quest for fitness.
